…I woke up, messed around online for a bit, I ate the yummy breakfast that Yoshi made, started to take care of a little bit of correspondence and started having a huge sneezing fit, and had to lay down on the couch.
I laid there and watched several episodes of “Life & Times” and a Nature program about Snowflake the only known albino gorilla. I was still sneezy and splotchy but had to run to the post office, which I did.
I came right back and laid back down on the couch and started watching the episodes of “The West Wing” which I had not yet watched. That was approximately 7 episodes going back to the first part of the Election Day episode which aired at the beginning of April. That’s right. I was two months behind on The West Wing and I ended up watching through the final episode (almost) without stopping.
Have you ever watched so much TV it felt like your brain was going to fall out of your head? Anytime I watch any more than a couple of hours of TV, that’s what I feel like, but my sneezing was so bad that it felt better to lay on the couch in front of the TV instead of attempting to do any real work.
So there goes my “extra day” off. What a waste. But at least I took almost 10 hours of stuff off the TiVo.
Somewhere in there, Yoshi also made me dinner, too. (Steak & asparagus & broccoli.) I am a lucky girl.
UPDATE: Yoshi reminded me of the four episodes of “Deal or No Deal” that I also went through. One of them was a special 2-hour episode, so I was in front of the TV for a total of maybe 14-15 hours in one day. Eeek.
Yum! Done on the grill I hope.
So not a waste - everyone needs mental health days, even if you destroy it with TV watching.
don’t forget the marinated onions and mushrooms on top of the steak (marinade was a simple worstershire, s&p, white wine and garlic mix).
You need a lazy day on occasion. It renews the soul. And can this Yoshi make me dinner?
You got me beat - I was only 5 episodes behind on West Wing. Yeah, I cried at the end. Shut up.
I NEVER watch TV in order to save my brain for something useful or important. I also take OTC Clariton everyday. Once you start sneezing, it’s already too late tostart taking it.
